The Collingham Medical Centre will be supporting the Booster (3^rd dose) COVID Vaccine Campaign. Now we have Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) approval, we are getting ourselves ready to support the Newark & Collingham communities.

Eligible patients need a minimum of 6 months between their last COVID Vaccine and booster. For our communities these will start to be due from mid-October.

Once we have confirmation of vaccine delivery, we will contact eligible patients to invite. There is no need to contact us.

We aim to deliver a large part of this campaign at weekends in order not to disrupt your general practice services during the working week.

Proof of COVID-19 vaccination status
From 17 May, patients can access their COVID-19 vaccination status though the NHS App. Patients are being advised by Gov.uk that they do not need to contact their GP surgery about their COVID-19 vaccination status.

FREE Lateral Flow Test Devices are available from the Collingham Pharmacy - it is important to continue to test to protect you, your family and our community. Follow national guidance to isolate on a positive test and attend a PCR testing Centre.

Lateral Flow Testing offers reassurance that you are not carrying the virus, even if symptom free. If you have symptoms, please book PCR test and isolate.
